“Abigail took great care of our pets Jenna and Celly while house sitting. She sent us photos every day, and left the place nice and clean. She was very respectful and we felt our pets were well cared for! I would recommend her to a friend. Thanks Abigail!”
About: Since I was little, I have accumulated years of experience caring for pets, especially dogs and cats. I began helping with feeding and walks at age 9, and during my summer breaks, I took on more responsibilities. By age 15, I had several years of experience caring for up to 2 dogs and 2 cats during short overnight jobs. My love for animals has never wavered, and I will treat your pets as if they were my own. I am currently rebuilding my life back in California, so I am available to walk, play, and give your fur baby all the love and attention they need. My pet-sitting availability is open and flexible.

“Jenna was fantastic. Communicated with us the entire time, re the dog and the house. Jenna reached out to us when our dog was acting odd to check in with her concern. Thankfully it was nothing, but we were very grateful she called us. Our dog was a happy camper when we got home.”
About: Hi there, my name is Amanda and I’m so excited to care for your pet! I just moved to OC in the last few months and am looking to build up my Rover clientele. I’m in school at the moment to become an elementary school teacher and am hoping to get some supplemental income (plug some dog and cat snuggles!!). Growing up with cats, I’ve taken care of them from a young age. However, I love and have experience with dogs as well. I’m looking forward to getting to know your pet! Feel free to reach out with any questions and I hope to hear from you soon. My teacher credentialing program is fully online so I can be flexible with my times for visits throughout the day. I will do my best to accommodate last minute requests. I’m also happy to schedule a meetup if you’d like! I will follow any directions and instructions left word for word. I will also make sure to send daily updates so you can vacation / be away from home stress-free!

About: I have lifelong experience caring for a wide range of animals. I have also ridden horses and volunteered in their care, including grooming, bathing, and general handling. I once found and rehabilitated butterflies from chrysalises and cared for them until they emerged and were safely released, which reflects my gentle and attentive approach to animal care. I had my childhood dog, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier named Whoopi, who was my heart dog and companion for many years. I currently care for an American Bully named Bailey, who has taught me patience, consistency, and understanding of individual animal personalities. I also have 2 years of experience as a veterinary assistant, where I gained hands-on clinical skills including anesthesia monitoring, surgical preparation, animal restraint and handling, medication administration, and anal gland expression. I am currently enrolled in veterinary technician school to continue building on this foundation. Animals are my lifelong passion, and I approach every pet with patience, respect, and genuine care, focusing on their comfort, safety, and emotional well-being. Right now, I have a very open and flexible schedule and am fully available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, daytime visits, and overnight stays in clients’ homes. I’m able to accommodate a variety of schedules and can adjust visits as needed to fit each client’s routine. I provide care in the client’s home, focusing on keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment and maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all instructions for feeding, walks, medication, and special care needs. With my veterinary assistant experience, I am attentive to changes in behavior or health and confident handling a variety of animals safely. I prioritize cleanliness, safety, and consistency so pets feel secure and well cared for while their owners are away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Huntington Beach
Alexa was amazing! First time using this service and impressed is an understatement! Alexa was very professional, communicative and showed our dogs lots of love and attention. She checked in several times throughout the day by sending pictures, videos, and updates. Would highly recommend Alexa and will definitely be rebooking with her.
This was our first time using Rover to find a sitter for our fur family and we could not be happier. Kat gave our kitties tons of love and was extremely respectful of our space. She was a great communicator with us, allowing us to fully enjoy our vacation with confidence that our fur family and place were in good hands. Absolutely would recommend her to anyone looking!
Emma did really well with our pups. This was our first booking with her and things went very smoothly. Communication was great, and the puppy pictures were much appreciated. She was also very accommodating with schedule on short notice. We will happily rebook her for any future dog-sitting needs.
Wow Evelyn was absolutely the best dog sitter I’ve ever used! She came over for a meet and greet beforehand and my dog immediately warms up to her. While she was staying at my house to watch my dog and cat, she provided plenty of updates and pictures and I could tell that my animals were loving her company. She left my house immaculate as well. Im so impressed by her devotion to taking care of animals. I’m 10000% using her again the next time I go on a trip!

FAQs for House Sitting - Huntington Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Huntington Beach on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 7,877 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Huntington Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Huntington Beach walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Huntington Beach maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Huntington Beach choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
